Was there little to no fats or protein in the meal?
If you do a little google research on how carbs (processed - rice, pasta, bread etc.) spike your blood sugar levels, confuse the brain with hunger signals it makes a lot of sense. Most of the time it's the carbs high in sugar that do this, as sugar makes you want more sugar. carbs = sugar. Also, eat carbs with a little fat to help stabilse the sudden realease of insulin in the body and avoid the haywire reponse. It can get quite complex understanding foods effect on our hormones and the body's natural response when it's fed protein, fats or carbs0
